The Hombre is HUGE! I think he's the biggest horse currently racing in NZ. I haven't seen any that big for a long time.
He's been a bit disappointing lately.
He's much better than that.
Here's the field for that race:
1 62780 Our Lukas (2) 58 Shane Scriven
2 X9420 Mr Clangtastic (1) 56 Damian Browne
3 22715 Shuffle the Cash (12) 56 Eddie Wilkinson
4 51X20 Spechenka (10) 56 Ryan Wiggins
5 63120 Gold in Dubai (7) 54.5 Michael Walker
6 22370 The Hombre (13) 54 Jim Byrne
7 62203 Little Stranger (3) 53 Scott Galloway
8 47147 Teary Eyed (9) 53 Jason Taylor
9 21X21 Arcenciel (11) 53 Chris Munce
10 X1365 Danagaze (4) 53 Andrew Spinks
11 80480 Warrior Within (15) 53 Paul Hammersley
12 1X639 American Gangster (8) 53 Nathan Thomas
13 51280 General Mackjosh (5) 53 Melissa Walters (a)
14 74606 Patmoss (6) 53 Joe Bowditch
15 02338 Rambling On (14) 53
So two NZ chances - The Hombre and Arcenciel, who I think is going to be very good but maybe needs a few more months before winning at this level.
